Avesh Khan, a lower-order batsman for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), is in the middle of a scandal because of how he celebrated his team’s one-wicket Indian Premier League (IPL) win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) with his helmet celebration video viral
In the last few seconds of the game, Harshal Patel threw a full ball outside off that Avesh Khan didn’t catch. But Ravi Bishnoi ran like he was in the 100-meter dash, and Dinesh Karthik’s mistake helped LSG. Bishnoi threw the ball towards the non-striker’s end, but Avesh was already in his position.

Even though the celebration caused a lot of controversy, the match was exciting and RCB scored 212 runs when they batted first. This is the fifth time they have lost in IPL after getting 200+ runs, which is the most of any team. Even though LSG lost wickets, they were still able to chase down the score and win the match by just one wicket.
